What is a Generic Drug?

A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.

The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.

Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.

Description

Rocaltrol uses: Rocaltrol (calcitriol), a vitamin D analog, is prescribed for the management of secondary hyperparathyroidism and metabolic bone disease in patients with chronic kidney failure who are not on dialysis.

It is also prescribed for the management of low blood calcium levels and metabolic bone disease in patients receiving chronic kidney dialysis.

Additionally, Rocaltrol is used for the management of low blood calcium levels and its clinical effects in patients with postsurgical hypoparathyroidism, idiopathic hypoparathyroidism, and pseudohypoparathyroidism.

Rocaltrol comes in 0.25 mcg and 0.5 mcg capsules and a solution containing 1 mcg/mL for oral administration.

Directions

Rocatrol should be taken as instructed by your doctor. Contact your doctor or pharmacy about any questions or concerns you may have.

Each patient’s Rolcatrol dose is individualized; it should be started at the lowest effective dose and increased with careful monitoring of blood calcium levels. Your doctor will determine a dose that is appropriate for you.

Ingredients

Rocaltrol contains calcitriol.

Contraindications

You should avoid Rocaltrol if you have an allergy to any of its ingredients or if you have high blood calcium levels or evidential vitamin D toxicity.

Cautions

    • All the medications you take
    • Your allergies
    • Your current health conditions
    • Your past medical history
    • Your pregnancy status or breastfeeding status
  • Taking higher doses of Rocaltrol than recommended can result in high blood and urine calcium levels. Patients who may be at risk include those whose mobility is restricted, such as those who have had surgery.

Side Effects

The side effects of Rocaltrol are similar to adverse effects associated with taking too much vitamin D, including weakness, headache, drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, dry mouth, constipation, muscle pain, bone pain, metallic taste, anorexia, abdominal pain, and stomach ache.
